OUR PRESIDENTS. 



True nobility is derived from virtue, not from birth. Title may be purchased, but 
virtue is the only coin that makes the bargain valid.— Bwrton. 



The long line of illustrious men who have held the exalted position of Presi- 
dent of the United States has not its counterpart in the world's history. Not 
"rulers by Divine right" but by the will of the people,— occasionally not by 
the majority of the popular vote, but, by the majority of the Electoral College, 
which is a conception of the early Congress, and, while we perhaps think that 
the majority ought to rule, yet this is not the law, and we are a wonderfully 
good people to obey the law. The men who have filled these exalted positions 
came from the people, — some had wealth, 'tis true, others came from the farm 
and other humble walks of life, but with a desire to serve the people and advance 
the interests of the Republic. No czars, no emperors, no kings with an entailed 
succession, with or without brains ; no blue blood, made bluer by running back 
into barbarism, but good, rich, American blood that thrills the very soul, — inde- 
pendent, honest. God-fearing men, whose counsels have carried the Republic 
through the perils of birth at Bunker Hill and Yorktown and Valley Forge until 
to-day we can dictate terms of peace to the proudest nations on the globe. 

The 19th Century to Americans is most important, for it is our initial cent- 
ury. We had just seen the light of day in our new condition when 1800 was 
ushered in. The declaration had gone forth to be free but the experiment was 
yet to be tried. When the bold, determined men signed the Declaration and the 
gauntlet was thrown down to the arrogant, proud Briton, it was faith in God and 
powder, the free men of America and George Washington of Virginia that in- 
spired our forefathers to wondrous deeds of valor amid great sacrifices and a holy 
determination to be free. Washington was called by his countrymen to lead the 
armies of the young republic to victory; and, as they marched and counter- 
marched and suffered for country, and country alone, the tide of battle rolled 
back; the sacrifices and the life blood of the fathers and sons hallowed the 
ground and cleared the skies and peace was declared. The armies disbanded 
and the modest hero bade farewell to his comrades in arms, retiring to his estate 
in Virginia to live in quietude for the balance of his life, but the people willed it 
otherwise, and — 

GEORGE WASHINGTON, the First President, was honored by a two- 
term service from 1789 to 1797. He was born on February 22, 1732, near Bridges 
Creek, Va-, and inherited large landed estates from his father. The first 



election occurred in January, 1789. Tiie two houses of congress had been organ- 
ized in New York about April 4, 1789, although March 4th had been the 
appointed time. The organization of the gOTernment was completed on April 
30th. The President and Vice-President John Adams, were sworn in by Hod. 
Robert R. Livingston, chancellor of New York, in the gallery of the old city 
hall in Wall street. In the first cabinet were Thomas Jefferson, secretary of 
state; Alexander HamiltoD, secretary of the treasury; Henry Knox, secretary of 
war; Edmund Randolph, attorney general, and Samuel Osgood, postmaster 
general. John Jay was the first chief justice. At this time the country had a 
debt of $80,000,000,— a fabulous sum considering the country's small population 
and resources. After a re-election of Washington and John Adams for a second 
term, the cabinet was Timothy Pickering, secretary of state; Oliver Wolcott, 
secretary of the treasury; James McHenry, secretary of war; and Charles Lee, 
attorney general. There was no navy at this time. General Washington died at 
Mount Vernon, Va., December 14, 1799. 

JOHN ADAMS, Second President, was born at Braintree, Mass., on 
October 30, 1735. In early life he was a school teacher and had ambition to enter 
the army, but lacked the requisite influence to accomplish what he desired, and 
then he thought of theology, but finally turned his attention to law and was 
admitted to the bar. He married Abigail Smith and removed to Boston in 1768. 
On the organization of the first Continental Congress, which met in Philadelphia 
in 1774, he was one of the five members to represent Massachusetts. In 1777 he 
was sent as minister to France, where he remained until the mid-summer of 1779, 
when he returned home to be again called into service, and in October of the 
same year, went as commissioner to Great Britain. He remained abroad until 
1788, when he returned home and received the thanks of congress. He was 
elected President and inaugurated at Philadelphia on March 4, 1797, in the 
sixty second year of his age. As Vice-President he opened the electoral vote 
and declared himself President and Thomas Jefferson Vice-President. During his 
administration the seat of the general government was removed to the District 
of Columbia, its present location. Virginia and Maryland had ceded ten miles 
square of land for this purpose. His cabinet remained about as General Wash- 
ington had left it, with the addition of the navy portfolio, to which Benjamin 
Stoddard, of Pennsylvania was appointed. General Washington died during this 
administration. Mr. Pickering failing to be in accord with the President was 
''discharged from further service as secretary of state." Mr. Adams died on 
July 4, 1826 

THOMAS JEFFERSON, the Third President, was born in Shad well. 
Va., on April 2, 1743. His family was of Welsh ancestry and his education of a 
classical order. He was graduated from the William and Mary College with 
honors, and then turned his attention to law and soon built up a large practice. 
In 1769 he was elected member of the house of burgesses. He entered the arena 
of politics deliberately, for the benefit of his fellow men and not to enrich him- 
self, except in contentment, deeming the respect and consideration of his fellows 
of far greater worth than riches. He married on January 1, 1772, Mrs. Martha 
Skelton, a childless widow, who, upon the death of her father adHed to her 
husband's estate 50,000 acres and 135 slaves. On June 20, 1775, he took his seat 



in the Continentai Congress in Philadelphia, and on the same day learned and 
apprised congress of the battle of Bunker Hill. The die was cast and he was 
appointed on a committee to draft a declaration, which has become an immortal 
document. He was elected President and Aaron Burr Vice-President by the house 
of representatives, and for the second term his running mate was Mr. George 
Clinton, of New York ; James Madison was his secretary of state. During his 
second administration, Georgia ceded 100,000 square miles of land which now 
form the states of Alabama and Mississippi; Louisiana was purchased from 
France; Aaron Burr was tried for treason; the slave trade was abolished and 
Judge Pickering was impeached. Mr. Jefferson died on July 4, 1826. 

JAMES MADISON, the Fourth President, was born in Virginia. March 
16, 1757. His father was a large landed proprietor and a leading man of affairs. 
James was educated at Princeton College where he graduated with high honors. 
At the outbreak of the revolutionary war he would have joined the army but 
his health would not permit. He turned his attention to politics and the affairs 
of the country became of great interest to him. He and Mr. Jefferson met for 
the first time on October 7, 1776, at the first session of the independent legislative 
assembly of Virginia, where he was one of the delegates to represent the state in 
the congress of the confederation. His abilities were recognized, and he was 
placed on most important committees. He was secretary of state under Jefferson 
in 1801, and took an active part in the negotiations then pending with foreign 
nations. He was twice elected President, serving from March 4, 1809, to 1813, 
with George Clinton of New York, as Vice-President the first term, and Elbridge 
Gerry of Massachusetts, for the second. In his cabinet were found Robert Smith, 
of Maryland; William H. Eustis, of Massachusetts; Paul Hamilton, of South 
Carolina; Albert Gallatin, of Pennsylvania and Csesar A. Rodney, of Delaware. 
The most important event of the administration was the declaration of war 
against England which cost the United States $100,000,000. Mr. Madison died 
on June 28, 1836, and his wife died on July 12, 1849. 

JAMES MONROE, the Fifth President, was born in West Walden 
county, Virginia, on April 28, 1758. He was educated at William and Mary 
College, but left in 1776 to enter the army, was commissioned a lieutenant and 
promoted to captain, and again as major on the staff of Lord Sterling. He 
fought at Brandy wine and Germantown, and also took part in the War of the 
Revolution. He left the army because, having accepted the staff appointment, 
he lost his lineal rank as captain. After leaving the army he read law and was 
admitted to the bar ; went to congress in 1783, and in 1790 was chosen as senator. 
In 1794 was sent as minister plenipotentiary to France, but was recalled, as he 
was not in accord with the administration. He was elected by the Democrat- 
Republican party as governor of Virginia in 1799 and served three years. He 
was elected President, and with Daniel S. Tompkins, of New York, as Vice- 
President, was inaugurated on March 4, 1817. He and the Vice-President were 
reelected, inaugurated, and both served for eight years, to 1825. John C. 
Calhoun and John Quincy Adams were his secretaries of state. The latter was 
recalled from the Court of St. James to accept the position, and Calhoun became 
secretary of war. He was the author of the famous Monroe doctrine. In his 
message he declared : '* As a principle, the American continents, by the free 



and independent positions which they have assumed and maintained, are hence 
forth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European 
power." At the expiration of his second term as President, in 1825, he retired to 
his estate at Oak Hill, Va. , and was soon chosen as justice of the peace. His ill- 
health compelled him to relinquish all political cares and to decline further honors. 
He was not a thrifty man, for in his old age he was much harrassed by debt. Mr. 
M 'uroe died at the residence of his son-in-law in New York City on July 4, 1831, 
but in 1858 his remains were removed to Richmond, Va., amid universal rever- 
ence and great pomp. 

JOHV QUINCY ADAMS, the Sixth President, was born at Quincy, 
Mass., ou July 11, 1767. He was a soldier and a diplomat, and was present at the 
battle of Bunker Hill. At the age of eleven years he accompanied his father to 
France, and was educated at Paris, Amsterdam and Leipsic. At fourteen he 
went to Russia as private secretary to the envoy, Francis Dana, but returned to 
America and entered upon a course at Harvard, and graduated in 1787. He was 
Siat as minister to The Hague on his twenty-seventh birthday. He was 
appointed by his father, who had succeeded Washington as President, and upon 
the advice of Washington, as minister to Russia. He returned to America, how- 
ever, and was chosen to the Massachusetts senate April 6, 1802, and to the United 
States senate in 1803. He was very unpopular in the senate, and resigned before 
his time expired, saying : "He was not the man to remain where he was not 
wanted." Under President Madison he was sent for the second time as minister 
to Russia. He was also a commissioner to Ghent to effect a treaty with Eng- 
land, and, after the treaty had been concluded, he went to Paris and witnessed 
the return of Napoleon from Elba and the events of the famous " hundred 
days." He went from Paris to England as minister, where he remained for two 
years, when he returned to America to assume the duties of secretary of state 
under James Monroe. He was elected to the Presidency, with John C. Calhoun 
as Vice Preeident. and was inaugurated on March 4, 1826. The election was 
thrown into the house of representatives, when Henry Clay, who was subsequently 
Mr. Adams' secretary of state, was speaker. John McLean, of Ohio, was a 
member of his cabinet. Mr. Adams died in Washington on February 23, 1848. 

ANDREW JACKSON, the Seventh President, was born in the district 
on the borders of North and South Carolina, known as the Waxhaw Settlement, 
on March 15, 1767. In early life he was a teacher, and was given to all sorts of 
sports. He was an expert duellist, and fought one in 1795, and again in 1805, 
when he killed his antagonist, Charles Dickenson. He commenced practicing 
law in Nashville, Tenn., in 1788, was elected to congress in 1796, heard Wash- 
ington deliver his last message, and in 1797 went to the senate. He was irritable 
as a senator, for the body was too slow and deliberate for one of his fiery temper. 
The historian says: *' He was desperately in debt, and sold his estate of 25 000 
acres to liquidate." He then removed with his negroes to "The Hermitage," and 
settled, as he supposed, for the balance of his life ; but events changed his 
purpose. 

The War of 1812 broke out, and he tendered his services and that of 2,000 
men, which were accepted, and he was ordered to New Orleans, January 7. 1813. 
He did not arrive there, however, owing to some misunderstanding, and so 



marched the troops back, when they were mustered out. It was on this march that 
he was dubbed " Old Hickory," and the name clung to him for the balance of his 
life. He participated in some of the Indian wars, and again was ordered to New 
Orleans to face the " red coats." Upon his arrival he commenced to fortify, 
with cotton bales and earth, on December 28, 1814. The British fleet of fifty ships, 
with 1,000 guns and 20,000 veterans, were anchored belowthe city. General Jack- 
son, with only 2,000 men on the ground and 4,000 somewhere en route, nothing 
daunted, threw down the gauntlet for John Bull to pick up. On New Year's 
day of 1815, the British began to bombard his works of earth and cotton, and, 
after the commanding general thought "Old Hickory" and his recruits were about 
"ready to cry quits," an assault was ordered, which resulted in a loss of 700 
killed, 1,400 wounded and 500 prisoners to the British, while Jackson's loss was 
eight killed and thirteen wounded. The assault occurred just before dawn, but 
the defeat was most overwhelming. This was the last battle of the war. The 
treaty of peace had already been signed at Ghent on December 24, 1814, but the 
news did not reach Washington until February 14, 1815. 

General Jackson was twice elected President, commencing on March 4, 1829, 
and ending March 4, 1837. John 0. Calhoun was Vice-President the first term, 
and Martin Van Buren the second. He died at The Hermitage on June 8, 1845. 

MARTIN VAN BUREN, the Eighth President, was born in Kinderhook, 
N. Y., on December 5, 1782. His father was a farmer in moderate circum- 
stances but Martin gained an education and prepared himself for the profession 
of law, and was admitted to the bar in 1803. He was married in 1807, and elected 
to the state senate in 1812 and remained for eight years, also was attorney 
general from 1815 to 1819. In 1816 he removed to Albany and formed a law 
partnership with Benjamin F. Butler, of New York, and became, also, regent 
of the State University. In 1821 he was elected to the United States senate and 
became governor of New York, in 1827, resigning from the senate for that pur- 
pose. President Jackson made him his secretary of state, and in June, 1831, ap- 
pointed him as Minister to England, but he was not confirmed. He was elec- 
ted to the presidency with Richard M, Johnson, of Kentucky, as Vice-President 
and inaugurated on March 4, 1837. His cabinet was composed of John Forsyth, 
of Georgia; Levi Woodbury, of New Hampshire; Joel R. Poinsett, of South 
Carolina; Mahlon Dickinson of New Jersey, Amos Kendall of Massachusetts and 
Benj. F. Butler, of New York. 

Mr. Van Buren died at his home "Lindenwald," on July 24, 1862, greatly 
honored and respected. His wife died in New York City, on December 29, 1878. 

WILLIAM HENRY HARRISON, the Ninth President, was born in 
Berkeley, Va., February 9, 1773. When Washington became President he was but 
sixteen years of age. Education was not so easily obtained then as now, and 
Indian border troubles attracted the attention of young Harrison, so he entered 
the army. He was commissioned as an ensiga in April, 1791, and assigned to the 
artillery. His youthful appearance attracted the attention of his superiors, but 
his determination brought him to the front, and he was advanced and placed up- 
on the staff of General Anthony Wayne, who complimented him in orders, for 
his bravery. In 1795 he was a captain of artillery and in 1800 President Adams 
appointed him governor of the new territory of Indiana, an immense domain, 



from which the States of Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan were formed. 
His powers were autocratic. He was not only commander of the entire militia, 
but, was Indian and land commissioner, legislator and law giver, and held the 
pardoning power. It was wonderful authority, but he was a wonderful man, 
and dealt fearlessly and equitably with all. Tecumseh, the noted Indian Chief, 
was a disturber of the peace and assembled with one thousand warriors at Tippe- 
canoe, Indiana, to dispute the authority of Governor Harrison. The gauntlet 
thrown down by this imperious, proud warrior was accepted by the general, and 
he advanced upon them, and, when near the town was severely set upon by the 
savages, who were defeated. The War of 1812 provoked the Indians to a general 
uprising, and General Harrison was appealed to by Kentucky, whose Governor 
commissioned him as major general of State troops. The President in the mean- 
time had made him a brigadier general in the regular army where he did such 
signal service that his countrymen wishing to still further honor him, his party 
nominated him for the Presidency. He was elected and with him John Tyler as 
Vice-President on March 4, 1841, His secretary of state was Daniel Webster; 
secretary of treasury, Thomas Ewing; secretary of war, John Bell and secre- 
tary of navy, Geo. Edmund Badger. 

General Harrison died on April 4th of the same year as the result of a cold 
incurred on the day of his inaugural. 



JOHN TYLER, the Tenth President, was born in Greenway, Va., on 
March 29, 1790. He was quite a poet, as well as something of a musician, but 
law was his profession. Among his classmates were James Madison, president 
of the college, and Thomas Jefferson. He entered the arena of politics and was 
elected to the Virginia legislature in 1811 and married Letitia Christian on March 
20, 1813. In the War of 1812 he commanded a company in the defense of Rich- 
mond against the English. Politically he was opposed to slavery, and, on the 
"compromise bill" admitting Missouri without restriction, he voted in the nega- 
tive, much to the surprise of his friends. He was a forceful and ready debater in 
Congress. He declined a re-election to congress in 1821 on account of ill health, 
but in 1823 was again elected, and in 1826 was elected governor of his state. 
He was elected Vice-President on the ticket with General Harrison, and upon 
the notice of the President's death at once repaired to Washington, taking the 
oath of office on April 6, 1841. Upon assuming the duties of President there 
were some changes in the cabinet. Upon a re-adjustment the official family was 
composed of such men as Walter Forward, of Pennsylvania; John McLean, of 
Ohio; Charles A. Wickliff, of Kentucky; John C. Spencer, of Virginia; 
Thomas W. Gilmore, of Virginia, and William Wilkins, of Pennsylvania. 
Two members of the cabinet were killed by the explosion of a gun on the vessel 
•• Princeton," and the places were filled by John C. Calhoun and John Y. Mason 
of Virginia. After leaving the White House Mr. Tyler returned to "Sherwood 
Forest," where he dwelt for the remainder of his life. He retired from politics 
(entirely but was often called upon to take part in public gatherings. It was he 
who suggested the peace conference of the states which met in Washington in 
February, 1861. He was the president of the conference. He finally went with 
Virginia and was member-elect to the Confederate house of representatives, but 
died before he took his seat. His death occurred on January 18, 1862. 



JAMES K. POLK, the Eleyenth President, was born in Mecklenburg, 
North Carolina, on November 2, 1795. He was of Scotch-Irish parentage and 
his father was a captain in the War of the Revolution. He at one time worked 
in a country store, but his taste was not in that direction, so he turned his atten- 
tion to law, and in order to educate his son the father made a great sacrifice; but 
he was repaid in future years by seeing the son honored by the Nation. Mr. Polk 
turned to politics and in 1823 was elected to the house of representatives, returned 
in 1824, and was elected to congress in 1825, and re-elected until 1839, when he 
became governor of Tennessee. He was a free trader, an advocate for the exten- 
sion of slavery, and advised the annexation of Texas. He was elected speaker 
of the house of representatives in 1835, and so remained for four years. In 1839 
he decided not to become candidate for another congressional terra, but was a 
candidate for governor — had a vigorous canvass and was elected. In 1841 he 
was again a candidate for governor, but was defeated by the whigs. He was 
inaugurated as President and George M. Dallas as Vice-President on March 4, 
1845. He received 175 votes of the electoral college, as against 105 for Cassius 
M. Clay. His cabinet was composed of James Buchanan, of Pennsylvania; 
Robert J. Walker, of Mississippi; William M. Marcy, of New York; Cave John- 
son, of Tennessee, and John Y. Mason, of Virginia. These were all able men. 
Mr. Calhoun, as secretary of state in the preceding administration, had signed a 
treaty of annexation with Texas on April 12, 1844, which was approved by con- 
gress on March 1, 1845, and the following day signed by Mr. Tyler. 

The Mexican government issued a proclamation denouncing the annexation act 
and called upon the people to rally in defense of their country, but did not declare 
war. General Taylor was sent with an army "' to assert the old French claim, — 
the rights given to Texas by Santa Anna and the new title of the United States." 
On May 7, 1846, the Mexican troops first opened fire on General Taylor at Palo 
Alto, and the Mexican war opened, when 50,000 men were called for. 

The campaigns were vigorously prosecuted by Generals Scott and Taylor, 
the City of Mexico was captured and our troops continued in possession of the 
country. Finally terms were agreed upon— Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and 
California were made the property of the United States upon the payment of 
$15,000,000, The treaty signed in Mexico on February 2, 1848, was sanctioned 
by congress on March 10, and the Mexican war ended. 

Mr. Polk's political career was a most remarkable one. His administration 
was filled with momentous questions that called forth his best qualities, and he 
could have been re-nominated but declined, and upon the close of his term 
retired to private life, to nurse back his impaired vitality, which had been over 
taxed by the cares of oflace. He died at Nashville, Tenn., June 15, 1849. 

ZACHARY TAYLOR, tlie Twelfth President, was born in Orange county, 
Va. , on September 24, 1784. His father was Lieutenant Colonel Taylor of the 
9th Virginia, which he commanded in the revolutionary war. He was always 
a soldier, having been born and bred amid the glitter and glamour of the army, 
and the stern realities of war. In 1808 he was a lieutenant of infantry, and cap- 
tain in 1810. In 1812 was in command of Fort Harrison on the Wabash, but in 
1815 he resigned and went to his farm, where he remained but a short time, 
when he returned to the army, and was made lieutenant colonel and placed in 
command of Fort Snelling, which at that time was far out on the frontier. In 



1832 he was full colonel and participated in the second Black Hawk war, when 
he secured the surrender of that renowned chief. He took a prominent part in 
the Seminole war in 1836, and was breveted a brigadier general in 1837; was 
ordered to Texas July, 1845, to defend her against Mexico, and was made brevet 
major general May, 1846. He took a prominent part, also, in the Mexican war, 
at the end of which he was elected President, with Millard Fillmore as Vice- 
President, and inaugurated on March 4, 1849. He started for Washington on 
January 24th to enter a political life which was antagonistic to his taste, for he 
loved the army and the frontier, where the greater part of his life had been spent. 
The manner of travel was slow, and " Old Rough and Ready" reached Wash- 
ington on February 23d. As March 4th was on Sunday, he was inducted into 
office on Monday, March 5th. In his cabinet were John M. Clayton, of Dela- 
ware; Wm. M. Meredith, of Pennsylvania; George W. Crawford, of Georgia; 
Wm. B. Preston, of Virginia; Thos. Ewing, of Ohio; Jacob Callaman, of Ver- 
mont and Reverdy Johnson, of Maryland. On July 4, 1850, President Taylor 
attended a ceremony at the Washington monument and became overheated, 
which resulted in his death on the night of July 9, 1850. His oldest daughter, 
Sarah, became the wife of Jefferson Davis. 

MILLARD FILLMORE, the Thirteenth President, as Vice-President, 
upon the death of General Taylor, was sworn into office. He was born on a farm 
at Locke, N. Y., on January 7, 1800,— came from an ancestry of pioneers, and 
was early placed to learn the business of wool carding, but this did not suit his 
taste, and, having a fair education, he became a teacher, a surveyor, and finally 
a lawyer, and was admitted to the bar in the spring of 1823, He married Abigail 
Powers, a clergyman's daughter, in 1826. He was elected as an Anti-Mason to 
the general assembly in the fall of 1828, and in 1832 to congress, re-elected in 
1836, and served in the XXVth, XXVIth and XXVHth congress. He was nom- 
inated by the Whigs for governor, but was defeated by Silas Wright, a Demo- 
crat. In 1847 was elected state comptroller, but resigned to run for Vice-Presi- 
dent with General Taylor. He took the oath of office on July 10, 1850, and his 
cabinet remained as originally constituted, with the exception of secretary of 
state; Mr, Clayton resigned and Daniel Webster was appointed in his stead. 
During this administration cheap postage was secured and Japan opened to 
America and the rest of the world by the Perry expedition. The Republican 
party was formed, the fugitive slave law passed, and the country was honored by 
the visit of General Kossuth and family, who were everywhere received with very 
marked distinction. Mr. Fillmore's wife died in 1853, and in 1855 he visited 
Europe, where he was received as became one who had so honored the high office 
of President of this great republic. In 1856 Mr. Fillmore accepted the Presiden- 
tial nomination the second time from the hands of the American party, but 
received only the vote of Maryland. He was a model citizen and a wise and 
Christian statesman. He died at Buffalo, N. Y., on March 7, 1874. 

FRANKLIN PIERCE, the Fourteenth President, was born In Hills- 
borough, N. H., on November 23, 1804. At the early age of 16 he entered Bow- 
doin College and graduated in 1824. Law was his chosen profession. He was 
admitted to the bar in 1827, and was soon elected to the legislature, where he 
remained for four years, a part of which time he was speaker. He was elected 
to Congress in 1833, and being considered a rising man, was placed on important 



committees. Here he was associated with such eminent men as Clay, Calhoun, 
Webster and Buchanan. He retired from the senate in 1842, settled in Concord 
and resumed the practice of law. In 1844 he declined the aenatorship and also 
the Democratic nomination for governor (an object lesson for the present 
day.) At the outbreak of the Mexican war he enlisted as a private and was soon 
made colonel of the 9th regiment, and was made brigadier general in March, 
1847. His service was a conspicuous one, — he was once wounded, and remained 
in Mexico until the close of the war. He received the nomination of his party 
and was elected President, and with William R. King, of Alabama, as Vice-Pres- 
ident, was inaugurated on March 4, 1853. In his cabinet were William L. Marcy, 
of New York; James Guthrie, of Kentucky; Robert McClelland, of Michigan; 
J. C. Dobbin, of North Carolina ; Jefferson Davis, of Mississippi ; James Camp- 
bell, of Pennsylvania, and Caleb Cushing. Mr. Pierce died at Concord, N. H., 
on October 8, 1869. 

JAMES BUCHANAN, the Fifteenth President, was born in Mercers- 
burg, Pa., on April 23, 1791. His parents were Scotch-Irish,— his father having 
been born in Donegal in 1761. There was a large family of eleven children, and 
James was the second. The father was well-to-do, and the children were edu- 
cated. The future President graduated from college, read law and was admitted 
to the bar. He became a member of the legislature in 1814, was elected to the 
XVIIth Congress at the age of 29 years, and was sent by President Jackson as 
minister to Russia in 1831 ; was senator from Pennsylvania in 1834, secretary of 
state under Mr. Polk in 1845, and was a candidate for the Presidency in 1852. 
Mr. Pierce was elected, however, and sent his competitor, Mr. Buchanan, as 
minister to St. James, where he remained until early in 1856. 

Mr. Buchanan was elected President, with John C. Breckenridge, of Ken- 
tucky, as Vice-President, and inaugurated on March 4, 1857. He being a bach- 
elor, the White House was presided over by Miss Harriet Lane, his niece, who, 
upon the election of her uncle to the presidency, became the first lady of the 
republic. This administration was marked with the most important event in the 
Nation's history, — a plot by prominent statesmen, senators and cabinet secretaries, 
to disrupt the Union, the suppressing of which cost four years of civil war, the 
loss of hundreds of thousands of lives and the expenditure of billions of money. 
The members of the cabinet were : Lewis Cass, of Michigan, secretary of state; 
Howell Cobb, of Georgia, secretary of the treasury; John B. Floyd, of Virginia, 
secretary of war; Isaac Toucey, of Connecticut, secretary of navy; Jacob Thomp- 
son, of Mississippi, secretary of interior; Aaron Vail Brown, of Tennessee, post- 
master-general; Jere S. Black, of Pennsylvania, attorney general. Mr. Buchanan 
retired from Washington the eve of this cruel war, for which he was held respon- 
sible, and died at Lancaster, Pa., June 1, 1868. 

ABRAHAM LINCOLN, the Sixteenth President, was born in Hardin 
county, Ky., on Feb. 12, 1809. He was veritably a boy of the frontier and it be- 
ing a long way to the "deestrick" school, his education was limited, so far as col- 
leges were concerned. The Lincoln family moved to Indiana in 1816, and his 
mother, who was Nancy Hanks, died in 1818. His step-mother was a woman of 
quite considerable learning, and Abraham, stimulated by her kind endeavors, 
laid the foundation for an education that placed him among the foremost law- 



yers and debaters in the world. He was a flat-boat man and made trips to New 
Orleans, some to profit and some to loss. Another move was made, and the fu- 
ture President became a son of Illinois. He took an active part in politics, and 
was a soldier as well and served in the Black Hawk war, was postmaster at one 
time and a member of the state legislature. He married Mary Todd, of Ken- 
tucky, in 1840, and was elected to congress in 1846, where he met such notable 
men as John Quincy Adams, Robert C. Winthrop, Alexander H. Stephens, Robt. 
Toombs, Andrew Johnson, Daniel Webster, Lewis Cass, John C. Calhoun, Jeffer- 
son Davis and Stephen A. Douglas. He opposed the war with Mexico, but, when 
the die was cast, he voted to sustain the men who fought in it. In 1854, he met 
in debate, the "Little Giant" in Springfield and opposed the repeal of the Mis- 
souri Compromise which Douglas advocated. This debate made him equally 
famous with the champion of the measure and paved the way to the presidency. 
He was nominated to this high ofl^ce amid the rumblings of civil war, and was 
elected and inaugurated with the clouds of secession hangmg thick about him. 
He lived to carry on the greatest civil war in all the annals of history. Abraham 
Lincoln the farmer, the "rail splitter," the soldier, the statesman, the patriot, thg 
president and the martyr, dead and made glorious and immortal by the assassin's 
steel, lives in the hearts of his countrymen. He, with Hannibal Hamlin of Maine, 
as Vice-President, was inaugurated on March 4,1861. His cabinet was composed 
of William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Simeon Cameron, Edwin M. Stanton, 
who became the great war secretary, Gideon Wells, Caleb B. Smith, Edward 
Bates and Montgomery Blair. For the second term Mr. Lincoln was accom- 
panied in the race by Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, Ex-Gov. Denison oi 
Ohio, Wm. Pitt Fessenden of Maine and Hugh McCulloch were members of the 
second cabinet. The Nation and the world were shocked by the announcement 
of Mr. Lincoln's assassination which occurred in Washington on the evening of 
April 14, 1865. He died in the City of Washington, at 22 minutes past 7 o'clock, 
on the morning of April 15, 1865. 

ANDREW JOHNSON, the Seventeenth President, was born in Raleigh, 
N. C, on December 29, 1808. He had no school advantages whatever, and was 
early apprenticed to learn the tailor trade, which he did. But he desired an edu- 
cation— 

And while he was handling the "goose," 
Was storing away knowledge for future use. 

His wife, Eliza McCardle, helped him intellectually, and he read many 
authors, mastered difficult problems, and became a linguist. His political 
star was in the ascendency, and he became an alderman, mayor, and a member of 
the legislature. He was elected to congress in 1843, governor in 1853 for two 
terms, and to the United States senate in 1857, where he remained until 1862, 
when he was appointed by President Lincoln as military-governor of Tennessee, 
with the rank of brigadier-general. He was not an advocate of slave extension, 
and denounced the John Brown raid in 1859; was glad of Lincoln's election, was 
opposed to secession, and claimed that the war had been thrust on the North. 
He was denounced, burned in effigy, and threatened with lynching, all of which 
did not disturb him in the least. He was the owner of slaves, but they were con- 
fiscated. He was elected Vice-President, and upon being notified of Mr. Lin- 
coln's death, took the oath of office as President. He was inducted into office by 



Chief Justice Chase without any public demonstration, and his first cabinet meet- 
ing was held in the treasury building on the day of Lincoln's death. He invited 
the members of the cabinet to remain. His administration was an eventful one. 
The war closed, the civil rights bill passed, reconstruction was put on foot, the 
French withdrew from Mexico, Alaska was purchased, and the President himself 
was arraigned for impeachment, and in the trial, which lasted from March 23d to 
May 26th, he was acquitted. 

Mr. Johnson died on July 3, 1875. 

ULYSSES S. GRANT, the Eighteenth President, was born at Mount 
Pleasant, Ohio, on April 27, 1822. He was the eldest of six children; lived on a 
farm, and got a common school education, and in 1839 went to West Point, where 
he did not particularly distinguish himself for brilliancy of intellect. He was 
called "Uncle Sam" Grant, and "United States" Grant, but later in life 
''Unconditional Surrender" Grant. He graduated from West Point in 1843, 
was commissioned as second-lieutenant in 1845. on the eve of the Mexican war, 
through which he served, and for gallantry was promoted to captain. He 
resigned in 1854 and retired to a small farm near St. Louis, where he sought to 
gain a livelihood, but it was not to his taste. He went to Galena, and was there 
when the war broke out that, before its close, made him the most famous general 
in history. General Grant was inaugurated as President and Schuyler Colfax as 
Vice-President on March 4, 1869, and again with Henry Wilson as Vice-President on 
March 4, 1873. There were many changes in President Grant's cabinet during his 
two terms, and we find the following : Secretaries of state, Elihu B. Washburne, 
Hamilton Fish; of the treasury, Alexander T. Stewart (not confirmed), George 8. 
Boutwell, William S. Richardson, Benjamin H. Bristow and Lot M. Morrill; 
secretaries of war. General John M, Schofield, U. S. Army; General John A. 
Rawlins, W. W. Belknap, Alonzo Taft, J. Donald Cameron; for the navy, Adolf 
E. Borie and George M. Robeson; postmaster-generals, John A. J. Cresswell, 
Marshall Jewell and James A. Tyner; attorney-generals, Ebenezer R. Hoar, 
Amos T, Ackerman, George H. Williams, Edwards Pierrepont and Alonzo Taft; 
secretaries of interior, Jacob D. Cox, Columbus Delano and Zachariah Chandler. 

At the end of his second term President Grant made a tour of the world, and 
secured more honors from the rulers and nobility of Europe and Asia than any 
other man in history. His sickness, suffering and heroism in his last days were 
most pathetic, and so long as history is written and the centuries roll round, and 
people moulder into dust, so long will the name of Grant be enshrined in the 
hearts of his countrymen. 

He died at Mount McGregor, New York, on July 23, 1885. 

RUTHERFORD B. HAYES, the Nineteenth President, was born in 
Delaware, Ohio, on October 4, 1822. He received a good education, and by pro- 
fession was a lawyer. At the outbreak of the war he enlisted and was commis- 
sioned as major of the 23d Ohio, of which W. S. Rosecrans was colonel. He was 
brave, and at Cedar Creek had a horse shot under him. General Sheridan said 
to him : " You will be a brigadier general from this time." And so he was, and 
was breveted major general on March 13, 1865. His war record ended with the 
memorable Shenandoah Valley campaign. He was inaugurated as President, 
with William A. Wheeler as Vice-President, on March 4, 1877. In his cabinet 



were William M. Evarts, John Sherman, Carl Schurz, David M. Key, George W 
McCreary, R. W. Thompson and General Charles Devens. 
Mr. Hayes died on January 17, 1893. 

JAMES A. GARFIELD, the Twentieth President, was born at Bedford, 
Ohio, on November 19, 1831. He, too, was a poor farm boy and canal-boat man, 
who worked his way ff'om the tow path to the White House. He got an 
education by great exertion, and became a school teacher and president of Will. 
iams College. He was a lawyer by profession and dabbled in politics. His first 
political speech was in support of the nomination of John C, Freemont for the 
presidency. He was elected to the state senate in 1859. In the war he 
was colonel of the 42d Ohio, became brigadier general and joined General Grant 
at Shiloh. He was also chief of staff to General Rosecrans, and gave gallant 
service at Chickamauga under Thomas, but resigned December 5, 1863, and took 
his seat in the United States senate, to which he had been elected. 

He was elected President and Chester A. Arthur, of New York, Vice-Presi- 
dent, and inaugurated on March 4, 1881. His cabinet was composed of James G. 
Blaine, William Windom, Robert T. Lincoln, William H. Hunt, Samuel J Kirk- 
wood, Thomas L. James and Wayne McVeigh. Mr. Garfield fell, mortally 
wounded, by the hand of the assassin, on the morning of July 2, 1881, and 
lingered for months, when death came to his release at Elberon, near Long 
Branch. He died on September 19, 1881. 

CHESTER A. ARTHUR, the Twenty-First President, was born at 
Frankfort, Vt., on October 5, 1832. He was in early life a teacher and finally 
selected law as his profession, and was a man of fine attainments. His first 
schooling was obtained at Union College, N. Y., and, in 1851, he was principal 
of the academy at North Pownal, Vt. Subsequently he was made engineer in 
chief of the staff of Governor Morgan in i860, and quartermaster-general of New 
York, in which capacity fell to him the task of subsisting, quartering, uniform- 
ing, equipping and arming New York's quota of soldiers for the Union Army. 

In February, 1862, he was appointed inspector general for New York, and in 
May went to the front and thoroughly inspected all the State troops; but the 
State became Democratic in 1863, and General Arthur was superceded or rather 
resigned, and returning home resumed the practice of law. In 1871, President 
Grant appointed him collector of the port of New York, and reappointed him in 
1875. He took the oath of office at once upon the death of President Garfield and 
filled out the unexpired term. General Arthur died in New York, November 
18, 1886. 

GROTER CLEVELAND, the Twenty-Second President, was bom at 

Caldwell, N. J., on March 18. 1887. His ancestry was English and most excel- 
lent stock. In early life he was a clerk and a teacher, as well as assistant in the 
New York Institute for the Blind. He studied law and was admitted to the 
bar in 1859. He entered the political arena and was appointed assistant district 
attorney for New York, January, 1863. He was the only support of his mother 
and sisters, or he would have been in the army; but the family was represented 
by his two brothers who enlisted. He was a singularly successful man in 
politics, for the political wave tossed him to the mayoralty chair of Buffalo, and 



again it rolled and he found the gubernatorial seat, and yet again the great 
political sea carried him on the crest of the wave to the White House, where he 
remained for four years, and then retired for a season to make way for a new 
tenant from Indianapolis. In 1893 he returned to Washington as President for a 
second term, and retired hale and hearty, and the century is not closed yet. 

Grover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, were inaugurated 
March 4, 1885, and Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson, of Illinois, were 
inaugurated in 1893. President Cleveland was married in the White House on 
June 2. 1886, to Frances Folsom, and has a family of three girls and one boy as 
a result of the union. 

His first cabinet was Thos. F. Bayard of Delaware, secretary of state; 
Daniel Manning, New York, secretary of treasury; Wm, C. Endicott, of Massa- 
chusetts, secretary of war; Wm, C. Whitney, of New York, secretary of navy; 
T. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississippi, secretary of interior; William F. Vilas, of Wis 
consin, attorney-general; A. H. Garland, of Arkansas, postmaster-general. 

The second cabinet was Walter Q. Gresham, secretary of state; John G 
Carlisle, secretary of treasury; W, S. Bissell, postmaster-general; Daniel S. 
Lamont, secretary of war; Hilary A. Herbert, secretary of navy; Richard Olney, 
attorney-general; Hoke Smith, of Georgia, and J. Sterling Morton. 

BENJAMIN HARRISON, the Twenty-Third Tresident, was born in 
North Bend, Ohio, on August 20, 1833. His father, John Scott Harrison, was 
the third son of General William Henry Harrison, who was the ninth President 
of the United States and the youngest son of Benjamin Harrison, one of the 
signers of the Declaration of Independence, from Virginia. 

The subject of this sketch gained a university education, studied law, and 
wag admitted to the bar in 1854, Indianapolis has been his home since that 
time, and he has steadily advanced from crier in the federal court at $2.50 per 
day, to become one of the most distinguished jurists and expounders of law in 
America. In the civil war he was among the first to enroll himself, and after 
assisting in raising the 70th Indiana regiment, was commissioned by Governor 
Morton as a second lieutenant, and took the field where he displayed such energy 
in drilling his men, such gallantry and skill in handling them that he soon 
became its colonel and was placed in command of a brigade. He took a promi- 
nent part in the campaigns of "Fighting Joe Hooker," and under General 
Sherman was among the very first in the storming column at Resaca, Ga., and 
at Atlanta bore a conspicuous part. After Sherman's march to the sea and the 
surrender of General Johnson at the close of the war, General Harrison went to 
Washington and took a part in the grandest reviews of veterans that this world 
has ever seen. 

He was elected President and with Governor Levi P. Morton, of New York, 
as Vice-President, was inaugurated at Washington, on March 4, 1889. His 
cabinet was as follows: James G. Blaine, William Windom, Redfield Proctor, 
Benjamin F. Tracey, John Wanamaker, John W. Noble, W. H. H. Miller and 
Jeremiah Rusk. 

Death is no respecter of persons or places, and Mrs. Harrison, the first lady 
of the land, the President's wife, died at the White House on October 25, 1892. 
Upon the expiration of his term as President, General Harrison retin d to his 
home in Indianapolis, Ind., and resumed his law practice. He is married for the 



second time, is hale and hearty, and we hope will live long to advise and give the 
benefit of his experience for the betterment of our common country. 

WILLIAM M'KINLEY, the Twenty-fourth President, was born in Niles, 
Ohio, on February 26, 1844. He attended the public schools until the breaking 
out of the war in 1861, when he enlisted as a private in the 23d Ohio Volunteers, 
and served with distinction until the close of the war, when he was mustered out 
as major. After returning home he studied law, and was in receipt of a large 
and lucrative practice at the time of -his election. Politics claimed his attention, 
and he was elected to Congress, and served in the Forty-fifth, Forty-sixth, 
Forty seventh, Forty-eighth, Forty-ninth and Fiftieth congresses, and was the 
author of the celebrated RicKinley bill that has made his name a household word 
in all the civilized world. 

Major McKinley was elected President, and was inaugurated, with Garrett 
A. Hobart, of New Jersey, as Vice-President, on March 4, 1897. The members 
of his cabinet are as follows : John Sherman, secretary of state ; Russell A. 
Alger, secretary of war ; Cornelius N. Bliss, secretary of the interior ; Joseph 
McKenna, attorney general : John D. Long, secretary of the navy ; Lyman J. 
Gage, secretary of the treasury ; James Wilson, secretary of agriculture ; James 
A. Gary, postmaster-general. Attorney-general McKenna wtis promoted to a 
justice of the Supreme Court. President McKinley, the first man in the whole 
world, will not disappoint the Nation, and it is to be hoped that jingoes and hot- 
headed political demagogues will enlist for the war they want him to declare and 
get out of the way. 

No President since Abraham Lincoln's time has had so grave a question to 
settle as has President McKinley. The irresponsibles propose measures which 
are seconded by a lot of cheap oflSce-seeking politicians, who think they elected 
the President, and who know more (?)than he dares to claim. This Cuban ques- 
tion was the president's inheritance; and, having fallen heir to it, he will, with 
the assistance of his coadjutors in oflSce— Alger of the Army, Long of the Navy, 
and Gage of the Treasury, to furnish the sinews, hold the "dogs of war" in check 
until the propitious moment arrives, and then the haughty Dons will release their 
hold and Cuba will be free. 

It is a serious thing to involve a nation in war, and none know it better than 
do those who have followed our ship of state through four years of strife. The 
President himself served more than his full term, and he and General Alger, his 
war secretary, with an experience of four years and sixty odd battles, will 
advocate peace if it can be honorably done. No fault-finding from soreheads, 
partisans and jingoes at home, nor howls and threats from nations abroad, will 
change the minds of the President and his cabinet, who hold the key to the situa- 
tion. But if war it must be, let it be a war so swift and so terrible, that future 
generations will pause and pray, and plan and legislate for a general disarma- 
ment of nations, and an international congress to arbitrate and settle great and 
grave questions peacefully, as Christian nations should.

The ' ' grog " ration was abolished in 1863, and since then the crew has been 
forbidden to drink while on duty. 

Marines are the police on board ship. Originally they were employed to 
prevent mutiny among the sailors. 

The guns of a battleship can carry from six to twelve miles, hurling a shot 
weighing half a ton. 

Behind the heavy armor there is a padding of either corn pith or cocoa 
husks. 

It costs $500 every time one of the big guns on board a ship is fired. 

Sailors are paid from $9.50 to $12.50 per month and board. 

An act of congress in 1872 abolished flogging in the navy. 

The American navy has practically all been built since 1883. 

A captain in the navy ranks with a colonel in the army. 

The oldest iron vessel is the Michigan, built in 1844. 

Five battleships are now under construction. 

The ships are painted white, except in time of war, when they are green. 

Barnacles form on the hull of a ship, impeding its speed. Six months' cruise 
will decrease the speed of a ship 15 per cent., and it must go into dry dock. 

Sixty-one merchant vessels belong to the auxiliary navy. These ships are 
subsidized, and by contract must be given to the United States on demand. 

Some of the guns in the navy can fire a shot twelve miles, farther than 
a man can see, for the guns are aimed and sighted by machinery. 

Five hundred and twenty-six men and forty officers are required to man 
the cruiser New York. 

Battleships are covered with armor of nickel steel from five to seven 
inches thick. 

We have six armored battleships — the Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts, 
Texas, Kearsage and Kentucky. 

A submarine torpedo boat, to be known as the Plunger, is now under 
construction. 

Projectiles thrown by naval guns are shaped much as the bullets shot by 
the ordinary rifle. 

A big battleship has on board an electric plant capable of lighting a town 
of 5,000 inhabitants. 

The boilers of the Iowa have a heating surface of eight acres, and hold 
thirty-two tons of water. 

The Kearsarge and Kentucky have just been added to our fleet of battle- 
ships.

The United States is the fifth naval power in the world. The navies of Great 
Britain France, Russia and Italy rank ahead in the order named. Germany and 
the United States are about tied. 

The battleship Iowa weighs about 12,000 tons, and as twenty tons is the 
average load of a freight car and twelve cars is a good load for a locomotive 
engine, it would take fifty locomotives to haul the great steel structure. 

The powder used in the big guns is brown and in chunks the size of a cara- 
mel. A charge for the biggest guns weighs 500 pounds and is hoisted to the 
breech by a derrick, the powder being sewed up in burlap bags. 

Armor plates are tested by firing steel projectiles weighing from 100 to 1,500 
pounds at them, from guns charged with 500 pounds of powder and at a distance 
of a city block.

Our battleships have a speed of from fifteen to seventeen knots an hour. 
Cruisers make nineteen to twenty-four knots, while the monitors can travel 
only five to seven knots. 

The biggest guns in the navy are forty-nine feet long, big enough for a 
man to crawl into; four feet in diameter at their largest part, and weigh 
135.50^ pounds or thereabouts. 

In a battle at sea the woodwork and all articles of wood are either stowed 
below or thrown overboard lest the men be injured by splinters 

The origin of the navy department may be said to date from October 13, 
1775. when congress authorized the equipment of two cruisers. 

The fastest vessels in the navy are the torpedo boats Porter and Dupont, 
each of which can travel 27.5 knots an hour. 

Battleships cost from $2,500 000 to $3 750.000, and cruisers from $600,000 
to $3 000.000. A good torpedo boat costs over 55ioo 000. 

Battleships are for heavy work; cruisers are commerce destroyers; monitors 
are useful only for coast defense. 

The Indiana could lie outside Sandy Hook and throw 1,200-pound shots 
into New York at the rate of four a minute. 

Those artists who show smoke in their pictures of naval battles are wholly 
wrong. Smokeless powder is used. 

All of the cruisers are named in honor of cities, and the battleships, except 
the Kearsarge, in honor of states.

BILTMORE. 

Mr. George W. Vanderbilt's estate at Biltmore, N. C, is probably the largest of 
its kind in the world. It contains 100,000 acres, and is under scientific culti- 
vation. Landscape gardening is an art with him, and German, English, 
French, Italian and American florists and g«ardeners of high degree are 
employed to make this place the most beautiful in the world. His handsome 
villa embraces wealth, elegance, comfort and convenience, and the works of art 
to be found within its walls are from the world at large. The estate is an edu- 
cator and is not maintained to flatter the pride, the appetite or the vanity of 
the owner. Nearly one thousand persons are employed, and they are satis- 
fied to live in America, to work for an American, and to be paid in American 
gold. 



If we live beyond our means

THE COST OF STRONG DRINK. 

For the fiscal year ending June 30 1896, there were reported to be 4 648 
wholesale and 204,294 retail dealers of whisky and beer, from which the United 
States received in revenue $114,480,720. The number of breweries in the United 
States is 1,771, and the annual production from them is 75,000,000 gallons of 
distilled spirits, and 1,115.959,482 gallons of fermented liquors, for which the 
consumers pay $1,000,000,000. 

This is but an annual sta.tement, and what an awful statement it is. In its 
trail come tears, blood, crime, death, damnation, and Christians and statesmen 
legalize it by not crushing it out. We build war ships, strengthen forts and 
mobilize armies to crush out an insurrection that lasts but a few days. We hold 
the Spaniard accountable for Cuban atrocities, and yet we build breweries and 
license rum sellers whose sole aim and business is to degrade, debauch and damn 
our young men and young women. 

America! wake up ! God will bless you for lending a sympathetic ear to 
Cuba; but He will hold you accountable for aiding and abetting the brewers and 
rum sellers in their nefarious business. 



Cling close to innocyency, for it 
will bring you peace at last.

Toung Man ! There is only one 
path to prosperity— strict honesty

The following was taken from Henry Watterson's address of welcome to the 
members of the G. A. R. at the Louisville encampment in 1895: 
"And the flag! God bless the flag! As the heart of McCallum More 
warmed to the tartan, do all hearts warm to the flag ! Have you upon your 
rounds of sight-seeing missed it hereabouts ? Does it make itself on any hand 
conspicuous by its absence? Can you doubt the loyal sincerity of those who 
from house-top and roof-tree have thrown it to the breeze ? Let some sacri- 
legious hand be raised to haul it down, and see ! No, no, comrades, the people 
en masse do not deal in subterfuges; they do not stoop to conquer; they may be 
wrong; they may be perverse, but they never dissemble. These are honest flags 
with honest hearts behind them. They are the symbols of a nationality as 
precious to us as to you. They fly at last as Webster would have them fly. bear- 
ing no such mottoes as ' What is all this worth ?' or ' Liberty first and Union 
afterward,' but blazing in letters of living light upon their ample folds, as they 
float over the sea and over the land, those words dear to every American heart : 
'Union and liberty, now and forever, one and inseparable.' "

New York, February 17, Miss Frances E. Willard died at the Empire Hotel at 
midnight on the 17th, Miss Willard was the "Uncrowned Queen of 
America;" she was an American by birth, but belonged to the World. In 
early life she lived on a farm, and loved the country home and country 
manners; did not attend school until fourteen years of age, yet. with a mind 
receptive to all that was sensible and good, she became a ripe scholar and a 
profound thinker, an organizer and a safe leader. She stood a peer among 
the great educators in America, and a stalwart in her life work — purity and 
sobriety. Frances Willard goes down to future generations as a martyr, and 
'tis well. The great cause for which she labored and died needed such a 
sacrifice to stimulate her co laborers to greater work in this part of the Mas- 
ter's vineyard. She died on the battlefield of temperance and purity with 
her face towards the enemy, and, it is fitting that a monument be erected to 
her memory, to commemorate her many hard struggles and self-sacrificing 
devotion to a work honored of God. "The Temple." built and burdened 
with debt, should be re-dedicated and redeemed. Let "Willard Temple free 
from debt," from this on, be the "war cry" of all the ribboners — the Red, 
White and Blue — and before the nineteenth century goes out the temperance 
people can, with a just pride, point to a beautiful and enduring monument, 
erected to the memory of the world's greatest temperance advocate and 
leader — Frances E Willard.

said : 

The men who offer then* lives on liberty's holy altar today caught their inspir- 
ation from the men who fought for their convictions in our civil war; and those great 
men of our civil war had heard of the revolutionary heroes and were pi-oud to emulate 
their deeds of patriotic valor ; but the men of the revolution had inherited the spirit 
of the pilgrim, fathers and were determined to prove themselves worthy of their noble 
sires; the pilgrims had the mantels of the reformers resting upon their broad her- 
culean shoulders; and the refoi'mers remembered with reverence the martyrs; and the 
martyrs hud seen the apostles; and the apostles had touched the Christ. There is 
your providence in history. 

Archbishop Ireland of the Archdiocese of Minnesota, at St. Paul, said: 

" God's power and will are above armies and navies, and on Him i»v more than 
on armies and navies nations depend. Let us praise and thank God. He blesses us

in the war our armies wage to-day. Victory follows victory ; the starry banner waves 
triumphant in Cuba and in the far distant Philippines. Small has been the sacrifices 
demanded as the price of victories. Wondrously great is the result of our victories. 

" A new America has risen. A new era has dawned in our history. America as 
never before is conscious of her power ; the nations of the earth as never before un- 
derstand her pOM^er. The child of a century is a giantess whose arms reach beyond 
her own vast continent across distance oceans. God indeed has blessed her. The 
ideals of America are in God's designs the ideals of all humanity. And America tri- 
umphs that popular liberty may trixxmph and a new order of things spring up for all 
humanity. 

"This is why greatness comes to her, and greatness yet will come to her beyond 
all that human vision to-day is able to see. She Mill grow into this new stature as by 
the very laws of natui'e, and God's hand will be with her then as it is now, guarding 
her in her tr\ie mission and preserving for her sake and that of the world her price- 
less liberty."

The greatest sea fight known in the history of the world was fought on Sunday, 
July 3rd, off the harbor at Santiago, between the American fleet, Admiral 
Sampson, and the Spanish fleet, Admiral Cervera. The results astonish 
the world. The American yet sails, the pride of the nation; the Spanish, 
annihilated, rests on the bottom of the Carribean Sea. Capt. Evans, whose 
good ship Iowa was the first to spy the Spanish Admiral stealing away, says: 

" I was sitting in my cabin talking to my son, who was a cadet on the Massachu- 
setts, but who had been left behind in a picket launch when his ship went up the 
bay to coal. Some one shouted : ' What's that black thing coming out of the harbor?' 
A moment later the Iowa was at general quarters and the eneine bf^ll rang full speed 
ahead. I put the helm to starboard and the Iowa crossed the bows of the Infanta 
Maria Teresa, the first ship out. As the Spanish Admiral swung to the westward the 
twelve-inch shells from the forward turret of the Iowa seemed to strike him fair in 
the bow, and the fight was a spectacle. 

" It was a superb sight to see the squadron come out — beautifully spaced as to 
distance and gradually increasing its speed to thirteen knots. 

" The Iowa from this moment kept up a steady fire from its heavy guns, heading 
all the time to keep the Infanta Maria Teresa on its starboard bow, and hoping to 
ram one of the leading ships. 

" In the meantime the Oregon, Indiana, Brooklyn and Texas were doing excel- 
lent work with their heavy guns. In a short time the enemy's ships were all clear of 
the harbor mouth, and it became evidently impossible for the Iowa to ram either the 
first or the second ships on account of their speed. 

"The range at this time was 2,000 yards from the leading ships. The Iowa's 
helm was immediately put hard to the starboard and the entire starboard broadside 
was poured into the Infanta Maria Teresa. The helm was then quickly shifted to 
port, and the ship went cross the stern of the Teresa in an effort to head off the 
Oquendo. All the time the engines were driving at full speed ahead, while a per- 



HISTORICAL ETENTS OF THE YEAR 1898— Continued. 

feet torrent of shells from the enemy passed over the smokestacks and superstruct- 
ure of the ship, but none struck her. 

"The « ristobal Colon, being- much faster than the rest of the Spanish ships, 
went rapidly to the front in an effort to escape, and in passing the Iowa the 
Colon placed two six-inch shells fairly in our starboard bow. One passed through 
the cofferdam and dispensary, wrecking the latter and bursting on the berth-deck, 
doing considerable damage. The other passed through the side at the water line 
within the cofferdam, where it still remains. 

" As it was now obviously impos-^ible to ram any of the Spanish ships, on ac- 
count of their superior speed, the Iowa's helm was put to the starboard, and she ran 
on a course parallel with the enemy. Being then abreast of the Almirante Oquendo 
at a distance of 1,100 yards, the Iowa's entire battery, including the rapid-fire guns, 
was opened on the Oquendo. The punishment was terrific. Many twelve and eight- 
inch shells were seen to explode inside of her, and smoke came through her hatches. 
The Oquendo seemed to stop her engines for a moment and lost headway ; but she 
immediately resumed her speed and gradually drew ahead of the Iowa and came 
under the terrific fire of the Oregon and Texas. 

"At this moment the alarm of ' Torpedo boats' was sounded, and two torpedo- 
boat destroyers were discovered in the starboard quarter at a distance of 4,000 
yards. Fire was at once opened on them with the after battery, and a twelve-inch 
shell cut the stern of one destroyer squarely off. As the shell struck a small torpedo 
boat fired back at the battleship, sending a shell within a few feet of my head. I said 
to Executive Officer Rogers: 'That little chap has got a lot of cheek.' Rogers 
shouted back: 'She shoots very well, all the same.'' 

" Well up among the advancing cruisers, spitting shots atone and then another, 
was the little Gloucester, shooting first at a cruiser, then at a torpedo boat, and hit- 
ting a head wherever she saw it. The marvel was that she was not destroyed by the 
rain of shells. In the meantime the Vizcaya was slowly drawing abeam of the 
Iowa, and for the space of fifteen minutes it was give and take between the two 
ships. The Vizcaya fired rapidly, but wildly, not one shot taking effect on the Iowa, 
while the shells from the Iowa were tearing great rents in the sides of the Vizcaya. 
As the latter passed ahead of the Iowa she came under the murderous fire of the 
Oregon. At this time the Infanta Maria Teresa and the Almirante Oquendo, leading 
the enemy's column, were seen to be heading for the beach in flames. The Texas, 
Oregon and Iowa pounded them unmercifully. They ceased to reply to the fire, and 
in a few moments the Spanish cruisers were a mass of flames and on the rocks with 
their colors down, the Teresa flying a white flag at the fore. 

" Thecrews of the enemy's ships, stripped, began jumping overboard, when one 
of the smaller magazines began to explode. 

" Meantime the Brooklyn and the Cristobal Colon were exchanging compliments 
in lively fashion at apparently long range, and the Oregon, with her locomotive 
speed, was hanging well on the Colon, also paying attention to the Vizcaya. The 
Teresa and the Oquendo were in flames on the beach just twenty minutes after the 
first shot was flred. Fifty miniites after the first shot was fired the Vizcaya put her 
helm to port, with a great burst of flame from the after part of the ship, and headed 
slowly for the rocks at Acceraderes, where she found her last resting place. 

" As it was apparent that the Iowa could not possibly catch the Cristobal Colon, 
and that the Oregon and Brooklyn undoubtedly Mould, and as the fast New York was 
also on her trail, I decided that the calls of humanity should be answered and atten- 
tion was given to 1.200 or 1,500 Spanish oflicers and men who had struck their colors to 
the American squadron commanded by Admiral Sampson. I therefore headed for the 
wreck of the Vizcaya, now burning furiously fore and aft. When I was in as far as 
the depth of water would admit I lowered all my boats and sent them at once to the 
assistance of the tinfortunate men, who were being drowned by dozens or roasted on 
the decks. I soon discovered that the insurgent Cubans from the shore were shooting 
men who were struggling in the water, after having surrendered to us. I immediately 
put a stop to this, but I could not put a stop to the mutilation of many bodies by the 
sharks inside the reef. These creatures had become excited by the blood from the 
wounded mixing with the water. 

" My boats' crews worked manfully and succeeded in saving many of the wounded 
from the burning ship. One man, who will be recommended for promotion, clambered 
up the side of the Vizcaya and saved three men from burning to death. The smaller 
magazines of the Vizcaya were exploding with magnificent cloud effects. The boats 
were coming alongside in a steady string, ani willing hands were helping the lacera- 
ted Spanish ofBeers and sailors onto the Iowa's quarter deck. All the Spaniards were 
absolutely wiihoiit clothes. Some had their legs torn off by fragments of shells. Others 
were mutilated in every conceivable way. 

" The bottoms of the boats held two or three inches of blood. In many cases dead 
men were lying in it. Five poor chaps died on the way to the ship. They were after- 
ward buried with military honors from the Iowa. Some examples of heroism, or more 
properly, devotion to discipline and duty, could never be surpassed. One man on the 
Vizcava had his left arm almost shot off just below the shoulder. The fragments were 
hanging by a small piece of skin, but he climbed unassisted over the side and saluted as 
if on a visit of ceremony. 



HISTORICAL EVENTS OF THE YEAR 1898-Continued, 

" Immediately after him came a strong-hearted sailor whose left leg had been shot 
off above the knee. He was hoisted on board the Iowa with a tackle, but never a 
whimper came from him. Gradually the mangled bodies and naked men accumulated 
until it would have been almost diflBcult to recognize the Iowa as a United States 
battleship. 

"Blood was all over her usually white quarterdeck, and 272 naked men were being 
supplied with water and food by those who a few minutes before had been using a 
rapid-fire battery on them. Finally came the boat with Capt. Eulate, commander of 
the Vizcaya, for whom a chair was lowered over the side, as he was evidently wounded. 
The Captain's guard of marines was drawn up on the quarterdeck to salute him, and I 
stood waiting to welcome him. 

"As the chair was placed on the deck the marines presented arms. Capt. 
Eulate slowly raised himself in the chair, saluted me with grave dignity, unbuckled his 
sword-belt and, holding the hilt before him, kissed it reverently with tears in his eyes, 
and then surrendered it to me. 

"Of course I declined to receive it, and as the crew of the Iowa saw this they 
cheered like wild men. As I started to take Capt Eulate into the cabin to let the 
doctors examine his wounds the magazines on board the Vizcaya exploded with a tre- 
mendous burst of flame. The captain, extending his hands, said, 'Adios, Vizcaya. 
There goes my beautiful ship, captain,' aud so we passed on to the cabin, where the 
doctors dressed his three wounds. 

" In the meantime, thirty officers of the Vizcaya had been picked up, besides 272 of 
her crew. Our wardroom and steerage officers gave up their staterooms and furnished 
food, clothing and tobacco to the naked officers from the Spanish vessel. The pay- 
master issued uniforms to the naked sailors, and each was given all the corned beef, 
coffee and hard tack he could eat. The war had assumed another aspect. 

" As I knew the crews of the first two ships wrecked had not been visited by any 
of our vessels, I ran down to them. I found the Gloucester with Admii*al Cervera and 
a number of his officers aboard and also a large number of wounded, some in a fright- 
fully mangled condition. Many prisoners had been killed on shore by the fire of the 
Cubans. The Harvard came off and requested Capt. Cotton to go in and take off 
the crews of the Infanta Maria Teresa and the Almirante Oquendo and by midnight 
the Harvard had 976 prisoners aboard, a great number of them wounded. 

"For courage and dash there is no parallel in history to this action of the Span- 
ish admiral. He came, as he knew, to absolute destruction. There was one single 
hope— that was that the Cristobal Colon would steam faster than the Brooklyn. The 
spectacle of two torpedo-boat destroyers, paper shells at best, deliberately steaming 
out in broad daylight in the face of the fire of a battleship can be described in one 
way— it was Spanish and it was ordered by Blanco. The same must be said of the 
entire movement. 

"In contrast to this Spanish fashion was the cool, deliberate Yankee work. The 
American squadron was without sentiment, apparently. The ships went at their 
Spanish opponents and literally tore them to pieces. But the moment the Spanish 
flag came down, it must have been evident that the sentiment was among the Ameri- 
cans and not among the Spaniards. 

"I took Admiral Cervera aboard the Iowa from the Gloucester and received him 
with a full admiral's gtiard. The crew of the Iowa crowded aft over the turrets, half 
naked and black with powder, as Cervera stepped over the side bareheaded. Over 
his undershirt he wore a thin suit of flannel borrowed from Lieutenant-Commander 
Wainwright of the Gloucester. The crew cheered vociferously. Cervera was every 
inch an admiral, even if he had no hat. He submitted to the fortunes of war with a 
grace that proclaimed him a thoroughbred." 

Captain Evans is inten.sely proud of his ship and her men. The Iowa fired thirty- 
one twelve-inch, forty-eight eight-inch, S70 four-inch, 1,060 six-pound and 120 one- 
pound shots. 

♦ The officers of the Viscaya said they simply could not hold their crews at the 
guns on account of the rapid fire poured upon them. The decks were flooded with 
waier from the fire hose, and blood from the wounded made this a dark red. Frag- 
ments of bodies floated in this along the gun-deck. Every instant the crack of 
exploding shells tf lid of new havoc. One of the twelve-inch shells from the Iowa 
exploded a torpedo in the Viscaya's bow, blowing twenty-one men against the deck 
above and dropping them dead and mangled into the fire which at once started 
below. 

The torpedo boat Ericsson was sent by the flagship to help in the rescue of the 
Viscaya's crew. Her men saw a terrible sight. The flames leaping out from the 
huge shot-holes in the Viscaya's sides licked up the decks, sizzling the flesh of the 
wounded, who were lying there shrieking for help. Between the frequent explosions 
there came awful cries and groans from the men penned in below. This carnage was 
chiefly due to the rapidity of the Americans' fire. Corporal Smith of the Iowa fired 
135 aimed shots in fifty minutes from a four-inch gun. Two shells struck within ten 
feet of Smith and started a small fire, but the corporal went on pumping shots into 
the enemy, only stopping to say : "They've got it in for this gun, sir." 



HISTORICAL EYENTS OF THE YEAR 1898— Contiuiied. 

From two six-pounders 440 shots were fired in fifty minutes. Up in the tops the 
marines banged awa>' with one pounders and were too excited to step back or duck 
as the shells whistled over them. 

One gunner of a secondary battery, under a twelve-inch gun, was almost blinded 
by smoke and saltpeter from the turret and his crew was driven oflf, but putting a 
wet handkf rohi. f over his face, with holes cut for the eyes, he stuck to his gun. 
Finally, as the six-pounders were so close to the eight-inch turret as to make it 
impossible to stay there with safety, the men were ordered away before the big 
gun was fired, but they refused to leave. When the eight inch gun was fired the 
concus ion blew two men ten feet from their guns a' d threw them to the deck as deaf 
as posts. Back they went again, however, and were aarain blown down and finally 
had to be draergeol away from their stations. Such bravery and dog determination 
under the heavy fire was of frequent occurrence on all the ships engaged. 

During his stay on the Iowa. Admiral Cervera endeared himself to all. After 
Blanco's order was issued he wanted to come out on the night of July 2. but General 
Linares said: "Wait till to-morrow morning. You will catch them at divine service 
then." 

The Spaniards say that no torpedo boats ever came out to attack Admiral Samp- 
son's squadron. The Pluton and Furor, they say, kept guard every night inside the 
harbor. 

The Indiana was hit only twice. She fired no armor-piercing shells except from 
the smokeless-powder six-pounders. The Oregon was hit three times, twice by frag- 
ments of shells. The Iowa was struck nine times.
